Hello, thanks!

Hi everybody.. I'm new here..(obviously).. My interest include collecting, repairing and playing lap steel guitars, building radios, amateur radio and collecting old books, especially old Popular Mechanics.

I've been thinking a bit about building a nice sheet metal brake, or a shear for circuit boards.
